Dielectric-branes in Non-supersymmetric SO(3)-invariant Perturbation of Three-dimensional N=8 Yang-Mills Theory

Abstract

We study non-supersymmetric SO(3)-invariant deformations of d=3, N=8 super Yang-Mills theory and their type IIA string theory dual. By adding both gaugino mass and scalar mass, dielectric D4-brane potential coincides with D5-brane potential in type IIB theory. We find the region of parameter space where the non-supersymmetric vacuum is described by stable dielectric NS5-branes. By considering the generalized action for NS5-branes in the presence of D4-flux, we also analyze the properties of dielectric NS5-branes.
